What careers in chemistry if I love ochem?
I’m a junior in college and recently decided that my major, marine biology, isn’t going to work out. But I love chemistry and am taking organic chemistry at the moment and find it so fascinating . I need to talk with my advisor to tell her that I need to switch to biochemistry or chemistry degree. I figured biochemistry would have the best of both worlds , chemistry and biology, but the more I read they don’t work with the nitty gritty of chemistry itself but of the interactions with organisms. Is that true? I know I need to go to grad school so don’t want to make the wrong choice , I just I enjoy science, mechanisms and the actual interactions with molecules themselves and specifically organic chemistry . Is there a career that would involve that ? Ideally I would want to work in a lab as well . Thanks ! ? Also, I’ve researched into environmental chemist, do they work with chemistry much or just mainly policy and paperwork ?
